Erin Ives- How am I not myself?

Erin Ives

Erin Ives has a background in photography and a BFA from Corcoran College of Art and Design. She combines multiple disciplines to create 3-dimensional collages. Her work revolves around portraits of women, nature and woodworking, the latter being a predominantly male craft, but the work is soaked in a feminist perspective. She uses found materials, image transfers, paint and organic materials to craft her artwork. Erin is a practicing artist in Raleigh, NC, and an Artspace Artist. Erin has been teaching small-scale classes since 2024 in image transfers to share accessible techniques within the local arts community. She has been curating a local bar quarterly and recently co-curated a show with local artist Allison Coleman at the Durham Art Guild called Ladies Auxiliary that showcased 20 female artists.
